Hello Leo and others, That's a bit what I was angling for. My suspicion is that provided questions are phrased in a particular way (and the people sampled of course matters as well) similar figures could be found also outside of whatever portion of the US was sampled. It may nevertheless be useful as a "group" to remind ourselves that what we may take for granted may at best be a fuzzy notion among the majority of citizens. I, as a fan of chess, got a similar eye opener ones when looking for chess magazines in a respectable looking Australian newstore only to find that they carried no such items, but on the other hand had on offer two different magazines dedicated to collecting teddy bears. This is of course a bit of a digression from the topic, and no offence meant to teddy bear collectors, but sometimes being inside a group, no matter how loosely defined, it may be difficult to ge a feel for proportions.
